As a retired soldier and someone who has travelled around the world I would say it is a 50/50.
The powers to be are hunting down known terrorists and removing their safe havens this is good.
Bad part is the George W. and his goons are going about it in the wrong way. They keep getting caught doing illegal and wrong activities, insulting Muslims and Arab ways of life. This allows the radicals to recruit more and more disillusioned people for their Jihad.
The United States and the UN did not go into Iraq illegally. There was a resolution, voted and approved by the majority in the UN Security counsel. The 1st Desert Storm had not ended, but was at a cease fire. The Resolution said that Saddam Hussein needed to meet several requirements or hostilities would resume. For over 10 years he refused to meet those requirements.
Problem is that the George W. and his friends lied to the world about the reasons they went back into Iraq. This lie has been blown up and used to recruit insurgents and terrorists.
What people fail to look at is
1. Saddam Hussein killed and tourtured thousands upon thousands of Muslims, men women and children. That is why the new government of Iraq hung him.
2. The UN had an obligation and the right to restart hostilities in Iraq. If you are going to join the UN (Iraq did) and obided by the rules set forth, then there must be some way to enforce those rules.
3. The radical Muslims and their idealogy have little to do with Islam. They pervert their holy books and scriptures for their sadistic views. The leaders of the Taliban were not living like the rest of the Afghanistan, and ruled by oppression, trying to drive the whole country back in time. Education and information are power and the Taliban knew that. Much like the Catholic Church tried perverting the bible during the holy wars and the Inquisition.
4. A dictatorship is always a bad thing. Power corrupts and Absolute power absolutely corrupts.
Places Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan have been under brutal regimes so long that people are afraid to stand up for what is right and to stop what is wrong. I don't have all the answers, but I truly believe that if the Muslim clerics in Iraq could bring peace to their country if they could come together for the common interest of their people.

No, he has no administration journey and has under no circumstances gained a skirmish a lot less a conflict. His attempt adverse to journey is close to to to 0. He replaced into 0.33 from the bottom of his type on the Naval Academy. the in person-friendly words ingredient he ever had going for him replaced into his daddy and granddaddy were both admirals. those who've been gaining understanding of his POW years can come across no records to help any of his claims that did now no longer originate with him, his promoting campaign or from those who on the time were undertaking to retribution from his father. so a recommendations as should be determined an determination historic previous has been fabricated. the tremendous question that the media ought to were asking from the starting up up is "How, once you're a helpless prisoner, now no longer waiting to stay sparkling of your self being tortured, and forced to make propaganda recordings for the enemy, how did you be waiting to refuse to be launched even as they mandatory as precise you out the door?" that truly doesn't carry close at the same time even fairly. If this kind of mind-blowing and unusual ingredient were a risk, the end result on different prisoners doesn't were for the sturdy. unusual what people may have self belief even as they favor to.

Terror is clearly on the run and has more attention worldwide. The world wins as long as it goes forward.

I think America has made the impressive front to be known, though they have faced the crosswinds of violence. The next appearance for the war will be different than the first and received with gratitude.

They've only given them a platform to perform their antisocial crimes. That can only mean a loss for freedom and social personalities endeavours to live life as they choose.
Terrorists want to dictate how others live but they would not accept the same standards applied to themselves.

It doesn't matter. As the USA eliminates terrorists in Iraq, more and more countries are forming terrorist group that could potentially be more dangerous then Iraq itself. I think the "liberation" in Iraq is of no use.
